Chapter 1369: Equally matched

“Head chef Yuan is really particular.” When hang Tian saw Yuan Zhou put on the face mask, he couldn’t help sighing with emotion in his heart.

However, hang Tian wasn’t surprised at all. When he was discussing with Zhang Yan in the video, Yuan Zhou also didn’t wear a mask when he spoke. But once he cut vegetables or touched the ingredients, he would wear a mask, giving people a sense of seriousness.

However, hang Tian didn’t have such a habit. He just washed his hands seriously in the water basin prepared by Yuan Zhou, wiped the knife clean and then started to cut.

As a famous chef of Huaiyang cuisine and a famous chef who had attended the state banquet twice, hang Tian’s knife skills were really extraordinary.

Hang Tian held a knife in his hand, and the gentle expression on his face instantly became serious. His old eyes suddenly became so sharp that no one dared to look at him directly.

This was not an exaggeration. For example, old policeman Zhengzhi’s eyes were filled with righteousness.

“Cha”, the sound of the knife and the crisp lotus root rubbing against each other was extremely soft. The crisp lotus root touched the sharp blade and then the back of the knife.

Without the sound as proof, it was almost impossible to see where the Lotus root slices cut by hang Tian were with the naked eye.

Yes, the Lotus root slices cut by hang Tian were extremely transparent, so transparent that the back of the knife could be clearly reflected, but there was an additional layer of haziness compared to when he looked at the back of the knife directly.

And that layer of haziness was the sliced lotus root.

…

“Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak.” Hang Tian’s speed was very fast, and it didn’t take long for the crisp lotus root to be cut in half.

With every cut, hang Tian would gently press the back of the knife against the Lotus root so that the thin lotus root slices would fall forward to make it easier for the later cuts.

Cutting a lotus root was extremely difficult for a cutting master like hang Tian, and he was done in a short while.

“Alright, where is head chef Yuan?” Hang Tian put down his knife and wiped his hands dry.

“I’m also done. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and reached out his hand to signal her.

“You …” Hang Tian looked up and was instantly shocked.

Hang Tian could not help but be surprised, because what he saw was a complete lotus root on the chopping board, not lotus root slices at all.

The Lotus root looked exactly the same as when Yuan Zhou had just put it on the chopping board. Hang Tian could even clearly remember that the position of the Lotus root on the chopping board had not changed.

The pure white Lotus root had seven holes of the same size, and the nodes of the Lotus root were all there.

Looking at hang Tian’s surprised look, Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything and just moved aside.

As Yuan Zhou stepped aside, the Golden sunlight that was originally blocked behind him shone directly on the Lotus root. Only then could hang Tian see that the Lotus root was covered with a faint light.

After taking a closer look, he realized that it wasn’t a ray of light. It was clearly the sun that shone on the unnoticeable lotus root after the Lotus root was cut off.

“Truly a work of art. Head chef Yuan’s knife skills are truly a work of art.” Hang Tian said emotionally.

“Your knife skills are also extremely outstanding.” Yuan Zhou pointed at the Lotus root slices in front of hang Tian and said.

Hang Tian returned to his usual gentle and kind appearance and directly picked up a lotus root from the chopping board.

The Lotus root in hang Tian’s hand was so thin that it was almost invisible. No, it should be said that one could clearly see the thing behind the Lotus root, which was the legendary word “reflection”.

And most importantly, there was not a single bit of broken lotus root on the Lotus root slice.

The most important thing about cutting lotus roots was that it was easy to cut the Lotus roots, but the connected silk was not easy to cut. Only an extremely fast knife could cut the silk, but if the knife was too fast, how could the Lotus roots be thin?

However, it was obviously not a problem for hang Tian and Yuan Zhou.

At that time, Yuan Zhou also picked up a slice of lotus root from his seemingly complete lotus root joint. It was as light as the word and as clean as the Lotus root.

“It seems that our knife skills are on par with each other.” Hang Tian put down the Lotus root slice in his hand and said with a smile.

“It seems so now.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“The future is indeed formidable. Actually, head chef Yuan has already surpassed me.” Hang Tian sighed as he pointed at the Lotus root joint that still looked intact after a piece of it had been removed.

“No,” she said. Yuan Zhou shook his head solemnly and then continued,””You’re already past the peak of your physical strength, but I’m still at this age. Strictly speaking, your cutting skills are better than mine.”

“Hahaha, you’re saying that I’m old?” Hang Tian asked, pretending to be dissatisfied.

“No, I’m just telling the truth.” Yuan Zhou shook his head and said earnestly.

“Zhang Ji is right. You’re such a serious person. You’re even more particular about rules than us old people.” When hang Tian saw Yuan Zhou’s manner, he couldn’t help laughing.

However, before Yuan Zhou could reply, hang Tian continued,””However, being a chef does require such seriousness. Head chef Yuan, you’re very good, really very good.”

“Thank you,” he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and thanked her.

“No need to thank me. This is not a compliment, but a fact.” Hang Tian said with a smile.

“This trip was worth it. The video was still a little unreal, but the reality was even more unreal than the video. However, it was shocking enough.” Hang Tian pointed at Yuan Zhou’s chopping board and said.

“Do you want to continue?” Yuan Zhou asked.

“Of course, why wouldn’t I? it’s rare for me to let go of everything, so naturally, I’ll cut it to my heart’s content.” Hang Tian’s fighting spirit was ignited by Yuan Zhou and thus he said with full of vigor.

“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then picked up the small and exquisite mushrooms.

The CI mushroom was a type of plant from the cigu family of the Chinese water lilies. Its fruit was edible and originated from the central and southern regions of China. The CI mushroom was slightly bitter when it first entered the mouth, but it had a sweet aftertaste.

Shen Chen had even praised the tussle for being taller than potatoes.

The reason why Yuan Zhou chose CI Gu was that it was a special vegetable in the area of Huaiyang, which was quite familiar to hangtian.

Furthermore, if the mushrooms were cut into pieces, it would definitely destroy their overall sense of completeness. This was because the shape of the mushrooms was oval or wide-egg shaped, close to a heart shape, but the tip would gradually become sharp to a short point, growing a short bud-like appearance.

It wasn’t easy to divide such mushrooms into beautiful slices.

“This CI Gu is good stuff. Let’s slice it up today.” Hang Tian was the first to speak.

“Alright, we’ll have this for lunch. I hope master hang can stay with us.” Yuan Zhou said.

“That’s great. It seems like not only will I be able to witness head chef Yuan’s cutting skills, but I will also be able to appreciate his cooking skills. There’s nothing better than this.” Hang Tian chuckled and nodded.

“Master hang, you’re too kind.” Yuan Zhou said.

“I’m not being polite. I’m telling the truth. It seems like it’s a loss that old Zhu didn’t come.” “This old Zhu cooks Cantonese cuisine. Head chef Yuan, it seems that you were also going to come to the video at that time. You just couldn’t get away for a while,” hang Tian continued.

“I’m very happy to be able to communicate with a master like master hang. If master Zhu is capable, it would also be my honor. ” Yuan Zhou said without changing his expression.

“Haha, you can’t call this an honor. It should be a normal interaction between us chefs. Although head chef Yuan is young, his culinary skills are already on par with us old guys.” Hang Tian was particularly serious when he said this.
